monistat BURNING!!!

Tests came back positive for a yeast infection and my midwife suggested a 7 day treatment of monistat or canestan. It's the first time I've had to treat a yeast infection. I'm using the cream that is inserted. After going to the bathroom, some of it leaked out and is burning me like crazy!!!Has anyone experienced this before?!?

Yes I had one a week ago and it burned soo bad when it would drip out like that the whole 7 days, and I have a friable cervix so I spotted from it too but it helped with the yeast infection so that's good. It took 3 days after I was done with the Monistat 7 for my symptoms to go away also.

I went through a period when I was 16-17 where I had a yeast infection almost every month and the first time I ever used Monistat it burnt so bad I was in the fetal position, couldn't catch my breath crying. Ha. Needless to say it calmed down. I think it just burns bad when the yeast infection is pretty bad. And the more I used it the easier it got. The thing I found that works was I peed before inserting, laid down on the bathroom floor when I used it, and ran straight to the bed and got horizontal before any of it moved. That way I didn't have to move and it didn't have to come out. It worked though!

I'm thinking of switching to canestan! Monistat has gotten such horrible reviews online, that it really scares me.I'm a little worried abt baby though...could the burning have been going on on the inside, and somehow affected my cervix?!?

Yep, I was allergic too. I had chemical burns all in my hooha from one treatment. Doc gave me diflucan for a yeast infection when preggers. Maybe you could ask for that. It is only 1 pill usually but I got 2 to ensure that it was cleared up since I was preggers this time.

Your actually supposed to take your treatment at bedtime which prevents the leakage. If you have been scratching( sorry) or if you are inflamed you can experience really bad itching. Yeast infections do burn but if it's to that extreme you have an extreme case and may need to be checked. I also recommend you use a panty liner throughout the day to catch the leakage as you heal. Make sure you change often don't rub or wash with a washcloth and only use soap with no perfumes or dyes. I am just finishing my 7 day treatment I'm not a pro but this isn't my first one. HTH
